Indonesia vs Bahrain prediction and betting tips on March 25, 2025
Game Prediction
On March 25, 2025, in the 8th round of the World Cup qualifiers in Asia, a match between the national teams of Indonesia and Bahrain will take place. Both teams still have a chance at second place in their group, but it is crucial to win this head-to-head encounter.
Our Prediction for the Indonesia vs Bahrain Match
Indonesia has never been particularly rated in football, even by Asian standards. Although they debuted in the World Cup in 1938, they have not qualified again since. Generally, the Asian Cup last year was not bad, with a victory over Vietnam allowing them to advance to the playoffs, where they immediately suffered a 0-4 defeat to Australia. Bahrain even won twice in that tournament, against Malaysia and Jordan, but then faced a 1-3 loss in the first playoff round against Japan.
Overall, Indonesia did not fare well in the autumn. After three draws initially, they lost to both China and Japan. However, they ended with a 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia, which put them back in the race for second place. Conversely, Bahrain surprised at the start by defeating Australia. They then faced defeats from the Chinese and Japanese amid three draws.
In the winter, Kluivert moved to Indonesia. The new coach debuted with an important trip to Australia. It was a failure: his players responded with a classic consolation goal after conceding five. Of course, it should be noted that at 0-0, Diks failed to convert a penalty. Talaich's team played in Japan, the undisputed group leader. They secured a solid 2-0 victory based on class.
